The Hero card of Wiggins indeed has better stats compared to his Christmas variant. I snagged that Garnett the instant I saw that I could get it for 10,000 (I saw John Starks who also had 10,000 once, then he went back to being in the 50,000 range). All the legends I have were purchased for around 10,000, with the exception of English who was 16,000. Looking in the AH is definitely the smarter option compared to purchasing packs.

Also, I have some uniforms that I don't like (Spurs Gray Alternate especially), so if I put them up for auction, do I receive the amount of coins that another player purchased for it? If so, do I only have to put it for bidding, or am I able to specify a buy now price?

Both. What I normally do is set the auction to start at just past whatever i would get if I discarded the card. usually like 150-200 coins for bad players or jerseys, coaches, courts. Then I set the buy now at whatever I think I can sucker someone into paying me (but still lower than the other similar cards in the AH, obviously)

the game says they take a percentage like 5% or something of what you sell it for, which doesn't make sense to me other than them wanting to be like 2K and taking coins out of the market so people will have to play for or buy them.

The statement jerseys are a bit more rare so you can probably sell them for a couple grand. I sold the Pelicans red for like 4-5000 buy now. Regular jerseys I usually get a couple hundred for them.

Sold some of my jerseys and was able to get the Cavs Kemp card. That gives me another big man who can rebound, finish, and block shots, now increasing the count to six good defensive bigs (Kemp, Garnett, Nance, Drummond, Porzingis, and Embiid).

Trying to sell some of my other cards, but no luck doing so. It's strange how I put the Grizzilies' home uniform up for auction for 12 hours for 750 and nobody took it, yet I put the Warriors Icon uniform up for 5,000 and it sold in less than an hour.

I usually don't sell the regular home or away jerseys for much but I try to sell the ones for popular teams like the warriors or Cleveland for a little more. Not, 5000 but like 600-700. Sounds like you got lucky there for sure

I got the warriors Oak Town ones over thanksgiving and sold it for 20000

If it's a popular team and people haven't had any luck getting a specific jersey themselves (and are running out of patience), you'll likely have more luck selling, even at a higher price point. Not that I'm advocating gouging, of course, but you'll definitely have better fortune with items for the most popular teams, especially if someone browsing the Auction House is getting impatient.

Divac isn't the only one with an incorrect number; Celtics Garnett wears #4 in game instead of #5.

btw, Wilkins has to be my favorite card yet. He's an amazing finisher, quick, able to green threes when open, decent rebounding, and can get an occasional block here and there. Definitely one of the best cards released right now, only thing is that he costs a fortune at the AH (200,000 average!)

Wow, that's ridiculous. I give them a pass for divacs number because already he's worn #12 but Garnett never wore #4 so that's just inexcusable.

I wanted to take my chances on a legend pack to see if I could get nique and got him on the first try! I have almost enough for a second one. What so you think my chances are for getting another one to flip for a profit?

Spud should be worth more than 10k, but because a lot of people didn't get Dominique, they sell all the other Hawks legends for cheap. Attempting to sell my Richardson card so I can get another HWC pack, and hope that I can get another Dominique so I can put him on auction.

I bought Payton for about 40k when they first released him and got a duplicate when I bought a pack trying to get another sonics player. Man, I would've loved to have gotten a Kemp or Allen. I wound up selling the duplicate for about 25k but lately I've seen affordable ones in the 20000s

Got a chance to play with Dominique Wilkins and this guy makes me feel like I'm cheating. Even against the triple double team of the week on all star difficulty, he had no problem scoring. No holes in his game, and he's made some highlight and one dunks. I'm glad I passed on the Xmas LeBron and wound up getting Wilkins instead. It would be hard to find a better all around player in the game

Found him in the Auction House; I didn't even know Giannis had a gold card tbh. Got him for 15k, but I'm assuming that his gold is a very rare card. From what I've seen, his stats are some of the best I've seen from a gold card.

I'd love to see what your team looks like, so take a screenshot whenever you can

Lin was the first gold card i bought in the AH when I didn't have any money. First Legend I bought was Payton. I had to have him because (surprise, surprise) he plays just like my character. Gets steals whenever I want. I built my team based on the way I play on offense. A lot of pick n roll, usually score enough with one guy to get him doubled then find the open guys for 3. I needed a Center and didn't have anyone in mind, but I bought Kemp and put him there as I needed someone who's good on D and REBs. I got Xmas Redick because I wanted a 90+ sniper who's still decent on defense.

I just got the Wiggins hero card and it's identical to the Xmas one I had lol

After much procrastination and telling myself I'd start building my LUT, I played a few games this evening. I've got a couple of short term cards that I'm putting to use while building my lineup. I gave the Magic Legends challenge a try, and man, McGrady is unstoppable! I mounted a comeback in the fourth but it came up short, mostly because Curry could not hit a three. Waste of one of his three games trying to use him there, he didn't help at all.

I did pick up Taj Gibson for cheap in the Auction House, and he's pretty effective. Surprisingly, Cole Aldrich at 69 Overall had a couple of good games for me, including a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Definitely interesting trying to put the low cards to good use while trying to build your squad. At this point, I think I'm going to have to get stuck into the League Heroes challenges.

I would start with the easier training camp challenges and the featured ones they have every week. Almost all games are on rookie or pro so early on I used poorly rated Tyler zeller or Joel Anthony on pick and rolls for easy buckets. The key for me was doing the playstyle challenges that give you overrated specialist cards so I got abrines and Justin Jackson who were rated 85 and 86 in 3s

If you want to build your team up quickly, I would continue to scour the AH for cheap deals as you can find them once in a while. When the game was launched, you couldn't get a gold card for less than 2000 but they are a bit more common now so you might be lucky enough to snag one for 1500 or less

I don't know how the overalls work in LUT, because I do see them being different. Off the top of my head Mutombo (86), McGrady (93), Wilkins (92), and Shaq (94), appear with a 78, 89, 85, and 85 respectively on the substitutions and rosters screens, so I have no clue which are correct.

Also taking in fact that overall ratings are very inconsistent with the visible stats on each card, for example Wes Unseld is a 91 overall, yet Amar'e Stoudemire has better visible stats, yet he's an 89 overall.

I was able to sell Shaq for 190k when he first came out, because of Shaq's popularity as a player. From what I've seen, prices can vary to a player's popularity, or based mainly on three point ratings.

Best example I can find is McGrady on release vs Glen Rice on Thursday. When people looked at McGrady's ratings, they found out that he was a better offensive player than Rice (who at the time was considered the best offensive player), and I saw some Rice cards going for 80k, but since people started to drop the price for auctioning McGrady, Rice went back to being worth 200+k mainly because of his three point rating (same with Chuck Person being in the 150+k range).

Popularity is also in consideration, because before the Magic challange, even Shaq's Cavs card went for about 80+k, even though Cavs Kemp had superior stats.
